configuring sendmail to cope with AOL
Quoted 8 lines · Haines Brown
That's what I was afraid of. Apparently much easier to do in other MTAs. I've tangled with sendmail before and am now gun-shy. Since I'm migrating from the distribution I've been using for many years to another, it will offer an opportunity to jump from sendmail to another MTA as well. Meanwhile I'll see if I can scrape up some specific directions.
Maybe something will come up in a google search.
Maybe Red Hat's Sendmail HOWTO will be of help:
http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/RH-sendmail-HOWTO/book1.html.
I think their section devoted to the home user (Section 4.1) is pretty good, it worked for me.
And about ISPs providing outgoing mail servers: I think they do it. You send your outgoing mail to, say, mail.isp.com, or smtp.isp.com, and it gets relayed onwards. Only you have to make sure the messages appear to be from the address you're getting from the ISP, hence masquerading (Section 4.1.2). (Hopefully!) very simple.

Amin,
Thanks. I'm reading the RedHat sendmail HOWTO now. Thanks for the pointer. I find it challenging, though.
